    Purple Nurple/Purple Beast had some minor work done. Put in the smaller battery tray for 51R with a braille 21# battery, 9lbs lighter than 51r 16bs lighter than stock. An AGM 51R would've been $120-$200 anyway so I figured I'd save some more weight at the same price. Plus these batteries have a higher CCA than even the bosch premium AGM 51R's so wtf why not. Figured when it dies in a year I'll swap it for an antigravity RS30 or similar.

    Modified the JBR 51R battery tray to properly accomodate the new length of the braille since it's a little smaller - notice how the hold down is perfectly in the middle because I'm anal about it being right. Even made risers so the battery sits level rather than half-ass from the plastic braille battery hold down.
